Now, let's address recent events. AA's staff exercised the right to eject passengers they cosider a security risk in Paris in the case of the shoe-bomber. Then the the local police assured AA that he was okay. Local police was wrong, leading to a terrorist incident.
Now, mere days later, we have an airline pilot who want to eject a passenger, only to be assured by local police that this passenger was okay. Sound familiar?</font>
You are missing the point, he wasn't just a passenger, he was a federal law enforcement officer traveling on official goverment business. Your comparison is a very poor one indeed.
